Six B-2 stealth bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri appear to be en route to a U.S. Air Force base in Guam, according to flight tracking data and voice communications with air traffic control.
The bombers apparently refueled after launching from Missouri, suggesting they launched without full fuel tanks due to a heavy onboard payload, which could be bunker-buster bombs.
The B-2 can carry two 15-ton bunker-buster bombs—which only the U.S. possesses. Experts say the bombs could be critical to targeting Iran’s most heavily fortified nuclear site: Fordow.

Look at you, all excited, like some spectrum-child going to a fireworks show. You can't wait for the "memes." WTF.
This type low IQ, crass stupidity and utter lack of sobriety is why Americans need to see and feel real warfare come to their real doorsteps, instead of always gleefully cheering it on in safety from the idiot bleacher section.
PRETTY SURE SUCH ARSENAL WOULD KEPT HERE IN THE STATES.
LONG TIME FRIEND OF MINE WAS LURED AWAY FROM AUTO RACING TO WORK FOR LOCKHEED. HE KNEW HOW TO HANDLE CARBON FIBER.
HE ENDED UP AS AN ENGINEER ON THE F-22.
HE WAS VERY SMART. COVID GOT HIM IN 2020.
STILL MISS HIM.
“I am trying to figure out the logic behind that thought? It would be extremely impractical and I’m pretty sure they would only load these on a bomber during the final leg and delivery of a mission”
No they are flying with the munitions as they are designed to do so. This is exactly why they tanked up after takeoff. Those are 30,000lbs each and they have two of them. It takes dedicated special lift loaders to load them into the bomb bay. And you would have to fly six C5 sized cargo planes across with those loaders and tanker support. Or just load the bombers before they left homebase and have tankers drag them and their F22s half way around the globe. Those F22s are not for show over the USA they are their CAP cover and tankers will drag them too.
I called it yesterday a flock of six B2 and 12 gbu57s that is exactly the mission that is being flown. I would bet good money they are not stopping in Guam they hit that target in the next 20 hours or so. It’s irrelevant if they know they are coming they cannot stop them and the F22s. Also makes sense from a stock market standpoint hit over the weekend when the market is closed and panic selling cannot happen.
That makes sense... I was thinking the same thing. If they are going to Guam from Missouri they would indeed need to be topped off after take off. And maybe even refueled in the air again before they get there. This would be the case even if they were empty. So the ‘loaded” idea is probably a misconception.

LIFT OFF WITH PAYLOAD OF 30,000 & THE REQUIREMENT FOR LOTS OF FUEL TO DO SO, SAYS IT ALL
I can imagine what that felt like. It’s a thrill when just one does a flyover at some celebrated event - Rose Parade, Rose Bowl, etc.
We used to drive from Orange County, CA out to the desert to see my inlaws and went past March AFB (then known) hoping to see some B52’s but weren’t close enough to the base and none practicing “touch and goes” - LOL!!! I guess they were at Norton AFB also but we seldom went that way.
Well now that makes sense too... Whole lot of unforeseen factors in all this...
I was gonna say the same thing. Where is OPSEC? Blasted Faux News, shut the BLEEP up!
That's how you know it's all BS.
Wouldn't the best return on that investment be never having to use it?
CONTROL OF DIEGO GARCIA HAS BEEN DICEY FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS.
DISTANCE FROM GUAM to TEHRAN IS just UNDER 5600 MILES

IF we were dealing with competent people, Yes.
But alas We are dealing with terrorscum psychopaths...

Tell your mom to tell you to stop leavink your Special Iran Sock on the computer desk.
Imagine how much easier this would be if we still had Bagram Air Force Base.

My condolences for Your loss and His Family Members also.
Even an Oldtimer can miss one here and there.

Or, since you're supporter of the neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine, are you anti-Semitic enough to believe Israel isn't capable of doing so?
